This is the current away message of one of my high school friends:
All of you who voted for Bush should be ashamed of yourselves, putting the moral fabric of our country before money and the opportunity to kill babies. what has this country come to?!? Here's to another 4 yrs of integrity and a good role model in the White House, i hope you're all happy at what you've done...

This is another's:
Bush/Cheney 2004! 4 MORE YEARS! XD XD XD XD

And this is another's:
W stands for Winner! Most votes EVER for a President!

*sigh* No wonder I felt like such a freak through high school. These are the people I was telling myself I should look up to, the people I loved even though I had to lie and keep secrets and constantly avoid certain topics.

Also, it's cold and has been raining all day. My shoes and socks are soaked through, so I'm sitting here in the coffee shop barefoot, waiting to see if they'll dry out. I feel kinda silly, but... *shrugs* tea and honey and fireplace and wireless internet make everything better.

Wordcount for today (so far): 1,122

In a while, I will go home and cook- I'm thinking schezuan stringbeans over noodles, but we'll see- and do laundry, and maybe start a new book, since I finished one last night. I'll take my laptop with me to the landry room, since it's always warm there, and smells like detergent- clean and chemical and bright- and write some more. Later, I might watch TV.

Days off are nice.

Oh, you hadn't heard of it before? It seems like a ton of my friends have picked it up this year- I keep seeing their daily wordcounts on LJ. It's great fun, in a "you'll drive yourself crazy" kind of way. I remember the year I tried it quite fondly- got a whole 500 words, I did.

My roommate's doing it this year, though, and she tells me that she needs an additional 10,000 words by Monday to keep on track. I laugh. Fondly, of course, but it's still laughing.

>> she needs an additional 10,000 words by Monday

I look back on my recent month of unprecedented production:
5730. total. words.

(Me? envious? why in the world would anyone think that?)

Even sadder, over 3000 of those words are sunk into my latest project, which has had the buzzards circling from day one (and weighing in at a mighty 3600 words, it's one of the longest pieces of fictional writing I've ever attempted *laughs at herself, then goes back to shooing the buzzards away*)

Me too. It just takes me so much time and effort to write; I can't comprehend having that kind of output. And when the people who manage such production rates are also really good authors, I could die of envy.

Well, that's all tempting. Long fic from you? I can't wait to see it.
